¹And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

¹Ary rehefa vitan'i Jesosy izany teny izany, dia niala tany Galilia Izy ka nihazo ny lalana teny an-dafin'i Jordana, dia tonga tany amin'ny sisin'i Jodia.

²And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

²Ary nisy vahoaka betsaka nanaraka Azy, dia nahasitrana azy teo Izy.

³The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

³Ary nisy Fariseo nanatona Azy, dia naka fanahy Azy hoe: Mahazo misaotra ny vadiny va ny lehilahy noho izay rehetra entiny iampangany azy na inona na inona?[Na: (Ary nanatona Azy ny Fariseo)]

⁴And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

⁴Ary Izy namaly ka nanao hoe: Tsy mbola novakinareo va ny teny, fa Izay nahary azy tamin'ny voalohany dia nahary azy ho lahy sy vavy (Gen. 1. 27), ka dia nanao hoe:

⁵And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

⁵Ary noho izany ny lehilahy dia handao ny rainy sy ny reniny ka hikambana amin'ny vadiny; ary dia ho nofo iray ihany izy roroa. (Gen. 2. 24)?

⁶Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

⁶ka dia tsy roa intsony izy, fa nofo iray ihany. Koa amin'izany, izay nampiraisin'Andriamanitra dia aoka tsy hampisarahin'olona.

⁷They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

⁷Hoy ireo taminy: Nahoana ary Mosesy no nandidy hanome taratasy fisaoram-bady sy hisaotra azy? (Deo. 24. 1).

⁸He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

⁸Ary hoy Jesosy taminy: Ny hamafin'ny fonareo no namelan'i Mosesy anareo hisao-bady; fa tamin'ny voalohany dia tsy mba toy izany.

⁹And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

⁹Fa lazaiko aminareo: Na zovy na zovy no misaotra ny vadiny, afa-tsy noho ny fijangajangana ihany, ka mampakatra ny hafa, dia mijangajanga; ary izay mampakatra ny voasaotra dia mijangajanga koa.

¹⁰His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

¹⁰Dia hoy ny mpianatra taminy: Raha izany no toetry ny lehilahy amin'ny vadiny, dia aleo tsy manambady.

¹¹But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

¹¹Fa hoy Izy taminy: Tsy ny olona rehetra no mahay mandray izany teny izany, fa izay nomena ihany;

¹²For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

¹²fa misy ionoka, izay teraka ionoka hatrany an-kibon-dreniny; ary misy ionoka, izay nataon'ny olona ionoka; ary misy ionoka, izay nanao ny tenany ionoka noho ny fanjakan'ny lanitra. Aoka handray izany izay mahay mandray.

¹³Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

¹³Ary tamin'izany dia nisy zazakely nentina teo amin'i Jesosy mba hametrahany ny tànany sy hivavahany ho azy; fa ny mpianany niteny mafy ireny.

¹⁴But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

¹⁴Nefa Jesosy kosa nanao hoe: Avelao ny zaza, ary aza raràna tsy hanatona Ahy; fa an'ny toa azy ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

¹⁵And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

¹⁵Ary nony nametraka ny tànany taminy Izy, dia niala teo.

¹⁶And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

¹⁶Ary, indro, nisy anankiray nanatona Azy ka nanao hoe: Mpampianatra ô, inona no tsara hataoko hahazoako fiainana mandrakizay?[Na: (Mpampianatra tsara ô)]

¹⁷And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

¹⁷Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Nahoana Aho no anontanianao ny amin'izay tsara? Iray no tsara; fa raha te-hiditra any amin'ny fiainana ianao, tandremo ny didy.[Na: (Nahoana Aho no ataonao tsara? Tsy misy tsara afa-tsy iray ihany dia Andriamanitra.)]

¹⁸He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

¹⁸Hoy ralehilahy taminy: Inona avy moa? Dia hoy Jesosy: Ny hoe: Aza mamono olona, Aza mijangajanga, Aza mangalatra, Aza mety ho vavolombelona mandainga,

¹⁹Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

¹⁹Manajà ny rainao sy ny reninao (Eks. 20:12-16), ary: Tiava ny namanao tahaka ny tenanao (Lev. 19:18).

²⁰The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

²⁰Hoy ilay zatovo taminy: Izany rehetra izany efa voatandriko avokoa; fa inona no tsy mbola mahatanteraka ahy?

²¹Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

²¹Dia hoy Jesosy taminy: Raha tia ho tanteraka ianao, mandehana, amidio ny fanananao, ka omeo ny malahelo, dia hanana rakitra any an-danitra ianao; ary avia hanaraka Ahy.

²²But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

²²Fa nony nandre izany teny izany ilay zatovo, dia niala tamin'alahelo izy, satria nanana fananana be.

²³Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

²³Dia hoy Jesosy tamin'ny mpianany: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa sarotra ny hidiran'ny manan-karena amin'ny fanjakan'ny lanitra.

²⁴And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

²⁴Ary hoy Izaho aminareo indray: Ho moramora kokoa ny hidiran'ny rameva amin'ny vodi-fanjaitra noho ny hidiran'ny manan-karena amin'ny fanjakan'Andriamanitra.

²⁵When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

²⁵Ary nony nandre izany ny mpianatra, dia talanjona indrindra ka nanao hoe: Iza indray no azo hovonjena?

²⁶But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

²⁶Ary Jesosy nijery azy ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy hain'ny olona izany, fa hain'Andriamanitra ny zavatra rehetra.

²⁷Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

²⁷Dia namaly Petera ka nanao taminy hoe: Indro, izahay efa nahafoy ny zavatra rehetra ka nanaraka Anao; koa inona ary no ho azonay?

²⁸And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁸Fa hoy Jesosy taminy: Lazaiko aminareo marina tokoa fa rehefa mby amin'ny fanavaozana, ka hipetraka amin'ny seza fiandrianan'ny voninahiny ny Zanak'olona, ianareo koa, izay nanaraka Ahy, dia hipetraka amin'ny seza fiandrianana roa ambin'ny folo ka hitsara ny firenen'isiraely roa ambin'ny folo.[Gr.fiteraham-baovao]

²⁹And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

²⁹Ary izay rehetra efa nahafoy trano, na rahalahy, na anabavy, na ray, na reny, na zanaka, na tany, noho ny anarako, dia handray zato heny ka handova fiainana mandrakizay.[Ampio hoe: (na vady.)]Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.

³⁰But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

³⁰Nefa maro izay voalohany no ho farany, ary izay farany no ho voalohany.
